“This is one of the few events that we have that highlights the bartenders creative abilities. It’s one of those things where the bar staff are the ones that really create the event,” according to Butch Calkins, bartender at Fishlips.

The bartenders, of Fishlips, come up with their creative twist on a new martini and guests sample each one, to decide who has the best martini.

This year, guests will have eight different martinis to choose from and they can expect each one to be different and delicious.

All the chocolate lovers, attending the Martini Fest, can look forward to bartender Butch Calkins’ martini, which will include a Nutella infused vodka, with a hint of hazelnut flavoring, and a topping of creamy Godiva dark chocolate whip cream.

Tickets are being sold for $10 in advance and $15 at the door. The event begins at 1 p.m. on Sunday and lasts for three hours.

In those three hours, guests will have an unlimited sampling of eight different delicious martinis and after sampling, guest will vote on their two favorites.

First place winner will not only receive bragging rights for the year but also a $500 cash prize! Runner up will receive a $300 cash prize and third place wins a $200 cash prize.

This will be the 7th year that Fishlips is hosting the Martini Fest and it is the perfect opportunity for Brevard residents to come out and taste unlimited samples of creatively delicious martinis, made by your favorite Fishlips’ bartenders.
